Description
This is a black and white image of a couple of trees that are dead and dying as a result of saltwater intrusion down the bayou in South Louisiana between Cocodrie and Dulac. Much of the land loss is associated with the salt water intrusion, thus killing off the oaks and other trees and vegetation that are not salt-tolerant. The debate has been going on for many years regarding the loss of land in South Louisiana. The catalyst can be that the levees along the Mississippi are blocking the much needed replenishment of nutrients and soils that once covered these areas. During the spring floods, the river and all its distributaries would overflow their banks and spread the sediment across the entire delta. Some believe that the many oil field canals cut throughout the marshes helped in the intrusion.
